We loved our time at the mermaids cave. Very relaxing and so many unreal things to look at. The owner is very kind and informative. Our favourite parts were the sea horses, and well everything!!

So you go into the store and its full of lovely things like clothes ranging from babies to adults, shells, jewelry etc. Then you pay for entry to the Mermaid Cave, which is absolutely amazing. There's multiple large fish tanks filled with fish, coral, anemones, eels etc. And yes, Nemo and Dory are there too. There's activity books and colouring pencils and tracing stencils on tables for kids. We were lucky enough to be there for the seahorse feeding and were told all about the seahorses and learnt some things we didn't know. The lady who runs all of this is awesome, friendly and knows her stuff. Its a must see!

Such a hidden gem.
Loved all the displays and aquariums.
Sea horses and puffer fish were a favourite.
We went as a huge group. The owners were very accommodating and everyone in our group really enjoyed the experience.
Thanks for making our visit special.
